Ametek 132549 Process Pressure Gauge 0-160 Psi 6 in Npt

Product Description

The AMETEK 132549 is an analog process pressure gauge designed for industrial and commercial fluid system monitoring. It features a 6-inch black dial with a 0 to 160 psi range, offering 0.5% of scale accuracy for precise pressure readings. The thermoplastic case houses brass wetted parts, making it suitable for use with a wide range of compatible process media. The lower back mount configuration with a 1/2-inch NPT connection allows for direct pipe or panel installation. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and process system mechanics install this gauge as part of pressure monitoring assemblies in mechanical systems.

This gauge is well suited for commercial and industrial process piping applications where reliable analog pressure indication is required. The 6-inch dial improves readability at a distance, making it a practical choice for pump stations, compressor lines, and general process piping installations. The non-liquid-filled design keeps the unit lightweight and straightforward to mount in standard lower back positions on pressure lines, manifolds, or equipment panels.

Key Features

• 0 to 160 psi pressure range with 0.5% of scale accuracy
• 6-inch analog dial for improved at-a-distance readability
• 1/2-inch NPT lower back mount connection for direct pipe installation
• Brass wetted parts for broad media compatibility
• Thermoplastic case construction — lightweight and corrosion resistant
• Non-liquid-filled design simplifies installation and reduces weight

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style process gauge for use in commercial and industrial pressure monitoring applications requiring a 1/2-inch NPT lower back mount connection and a 0 to 160 psi measurement range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any pressure gauge. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per the applicable installation standard and do not overtighten the connection. Verify the gauge range is appropriate for the expected system pressure before placing the system back in service.
